As many RMWB residents already know, odours have become a prominent issue in some communities in the Wood Buffalo region. As a result, the Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA), through its Human Exposure Monitoring Program (HEMP), is launching a community-based odour monitoring project.

For this new initiative, WBEA is looking to recruit volunteer participants from the community of Fort McMurray. The project does not require a large commitment of time, in fact volunteers are asked to go about their daily activities and simply record odours if, and when, they are noticed.

Fort McMurray residents can attend one of the upcoming Community Odour Monitoring Project information sessions:

Thursday, May 9th, 11am

Please help us ensure that this important community monitoring project is a success – share this link with your co-workers, family, friends, and anyone else you think may be interested in helping us learn more about odours in our region.
